TOURIST TOWN OF TERROR!
When Lily’s mother returns from a little vacation to Todburg – the most haunted town in America – she seems different. She can no longer speak French. She makes better pancakes. And also she no longer recognizes Lily, her own daughter. What if she has been taken over … and is now something dangerous and undead?
So our intrepid heroes – Lily Gefelty, Katie Mulligan, and Jasper Dash, Boy Technonaut – blast off on another rollicking adventure, this time into a world of ghosts, ghouls, bats, tarantulas, web-footed vampires, sad-sack magicians, and ninja prep-school girls with love and fashion on their side. The night is dark and the enemies are fierce. You won’t know whether to laugh or scream!
Reviews
“Ridiculous in all the best ways.” — Kirkus Reviews
“This fifth book in Anderson’s good-humored satirical series gives new life – er, death? – to the paranormal horror novel and emphasizes the importance of reading comprehension if one is to avoid becoming a flesh-eating ghoul.” — Horn Book
“Anderson tucks in an oversize spider, a squirt gun that shoots holy water, and even a touch of romance, while Cyrus adds spooky illustrations to another action-packed episode in the Pals in Peril series.” — Booklist
